Unique Gift Ideas for Comic Lovers

by Lindsey Winsemius - Posted 2 days ago


In a world where physical gifts can feel predictable—think socks, mugs, or another gadget gathering dust—digital collectibles offer a fresh twist. They're instant, eco-friendly, and packed with potential for resale or appreciation, thanks to blockchain technology. Enter CryptoComics.com, an immersive marketplace powered by the Polygon network, where creators mint comic books as tradable NFTs. These aren't just PDFs; they're exclusively owned digital assets with royalties flowing back to artists on every resale. Perfect for the comic geek, the crypto-curious, or anyone who loves a story with staying power.

Gifting here means more than sharing a read—it's granting ownership of a piece of art that lives forever on the blockchain, with no shipping hassles and prices starting as low as $5. Whether for holidays, birthdays, or "just because," these picks highlight unique comics that spark imagination and conversation. 

1. For the Young Dreamer


DreamKeepers #1: Awakenings by Vivid Publishing


Dreamkeepers Awakenings



Imagine gifting a portal to a forbidden world where superpowers are illegal, but nightmares are real. This 99-page graphic novel kicks off the award-winning DreamKeepers series, following a band of kids in the city of Anduruna who awaken illegal supernatural abilities to battle invading horrors. Created by David Lillie, it's a lush, full-color adventure blending fantasy, action, and moral dilemmas—think X-Men meets a dystopian dreamscape.

Why it's a unique gift: 

As a Common edition NFT on Polygon, it's affordably priced at about $5 (41.7 POL), with over 9,000 copies available for direct creator purchase. 

But the magic extends beyond the page: Recipients unlock entry to a sprawling universe, including tabletop games like Skirmish, spinoff novels, and a roleplay community. It's not just a comic—it's a collectible ticket to ongoing adventures, ideal for tweens or teens who devour series like Percy Jackson. Gift it to inspire creativity, and watch them trade up to rarer editions as the fandom grows.
